Gilles Dumangin’s cuvées are cleaner, fresher, more precise and more focused than ever, reflecting the man’s fanatical attention to detail. As a result, they effortlessly handle lower dosage than they have had in the past. This is the 2010 base vintage incarnation (November 2013 disgorgement) of his bargain Brut 17, showcasing its pinot-led style beautifully in a core of primary cherry and pink grapefruit character, clean precision of lemon zest and an overlay of lemon blossom. Well-integrated dosage (8g/L) and fine mineral texture confirm one of the great champagne buys under $50. 93 points - Tyson Stelzer
This is the wine we've been waiting for – the bargain Champagne that blows all the other big names out of the water – Dumangin. Ever since last Christmas we have been searching for the finest French Champagne we could find and this grower Champagne looks the goods!
Who made it?
The Dumangin family can be traced back to working in the vineyards since the 1650's. Champagne Dumangin was created by Hippolyte Dumangin in the 1890s in the 1er Cru village of Chigny-les-Roses. Jacky Dumangin, three generations later, perfected the characteristically feminine Premier Cru champagne range. His son, Gilles Dumangin, 5th generation of successful winemakers, expanded the domaine by introducing several high end cuvees that helped position his domaine. Champagne J. Dumangin has more than 13 acres in the prestigious Montagne de Reims and is considered a classic grower-producer who carefully controls every aspect of production, from picking to bottling, to hand riddling.
I love experimenting with wines and encourage our Wine Collective members to try something different all the time. It’s amazing how the same grape variety from 2 different regions made by 2 different wine makers can taste so different. Some wines can be enjoyed on their own while others are better with food. If we all liked the same thing we’d be pretty boring.

Cracka Review
This is the wine we've been waiting for – the bargain Champagne that blows all the other big names out of the water – Dumangin. Ever since last Christmas we have been searching for the finest French Champagne we could find and this grower Champagne looks the goods!
It was actually Australia’s top sparkling wine writer, Tyson Stelzer, author of ‘The Champagne Guide’ who put us onto them. Take it away Tyson “These rank among the best value small-producer Champagnes” and we heartily agree.
So how good is it – well in Tyson’s book the Dumangin Brut 17 Non-Vintage Champagne scores a whopping 93 Points which puts it way ahead of Non-Vintage wines from big names such as Moet & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Billecart-Salmon, even Vintage Moet & Chandon. It is also on par with Vintage Laurent-Perrier, Vintage Taittinger Comtes de Champagne and Vintage Louis Roederer, all of which sell well north of $100 per bottle. And the best bit is the brilliant value.
It is a super elegant Champagne style - subtle with loads of finesse and drinkability that will suit a casual drink and a proper occasion. And it finishes silky smooth with super crisp acidity. Well worth a case or three.
Winemaker's Notes
Tasting Notes: 34% Meunier, 33% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir. Non Vintage with 33% reserve wine. Pristine bouquet of vibrant lemons and strawberry hull opens out into a palate of fantastic, linear freshness with great persistence.
Food Suggestions: Classic as an aperitif bubbly, with any non-spicy seafood dishes, excellent with a double or trebble cream cheese (Chaource). This fine and fruity Champagne is versatile and will complement most fine dishes.
Serving Temperature: 10°C (15 mins out of 4°C fridge).

Expert Reviews
Tyson Stelzer says
After changing contracts to improve fruit sources, the 2009 base is as refreshing and pure as I have ever seen Brut 17. A beautifully refined apéritif Champagne that captures the red-fruits freshness of crunchy red apples of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, with a gentle, lingering refinement, a subtle rose petal air and soft, chalky minerality. A cracking entry Champagne.

Wine Enthusiast says
A crisp, finely balanced wine, this is packed with fresh citrus, peach-skin and green-apple flavours. It's a textured wine with layers of minerality on the palate. The acidity is just right—a fine streak that cuts through the fruitiness and gives a tight, taut finish.

Ray Jordan says
Impressive wine for this price... pronounced fruit on the nose and a flinty dry finish...
